Im Currently a junior right now and I really want to attend UT Austin nursing program. I have attended their information session for the program and they said that they check holistically meaning GPA and SAT is not a major factor. (I mean of course it still counts a lot) but they mostly are checking what you did that would make you a good candidate to enter the program.
I currently have:
3.4 GPA
1390 SAT
I also am creating a portfolio about my health science and nursing articles since Im in journalism
And my school offers a CNA program which I will be joining my senior year
I also volunteer constantly at an animal shelter home
Is there anything else I would need to make me in a stronger position to get into the nursing program? Any advice or tips on applying? I really would like to make it!
Thank You!!
